Lectern Signage
Introducing our most popular styles of lectern signs available in a variety of frame materials including oak, pressure treated softwood, aluminium, mild steel, stainless, recycled plastic & decorative.
Why choose lectern signs?
They are a popular choice for a park interpretation projects, wildlife areas and visitor attractions as the printed displays are set an accessible height for adults, children and wheelchair users. Panels mounted in a lectern frame are not too obtrusive in the environment.
Designed for accessibility
As standard all lectern frames are supplied with 1,600mm long legs with the mid point of the sign being set at 1,000mm above ground. For installing 600mm deep holes are required, spade width, filled with Postcrete. Dimensions and drawing for each frame style are available by request.
Lectern Sign Material
Powder coated aluminium. This is the most popular style of metal lectern sign which comes with an attractive finish and powder coated in colours to suit. Delivered in kit form with the top section bolted to the legs on site. This is our most popular style of metal lectern sign
Mild steel lecterns. All mild steel options are zinc plated (rather than galvanised) and powder coated in colours to suit. We are now zinc plating rather than galvanising as it produces are far better and smoother finish with similar durability
Stainless Steel. Our normal finish is a Brushed stainless steel – to powder coat seems a waste! Stainless lecterns are more expensive and we normally use them in a marine grade steel for coastal locations
Oak. roduced from air-dried Oak frames and legs, with timber sourced from FSC suppliers. Oak lectern signs give a stylish finish and would be our recommended timber. Please remember that all timbers will weather down and develop a silvery sheen over time. Oak can be prone to some splitting
Softwood. Produced with pressure treated softwood legs these softwood lecterns are a slightly cheaper option than the oak equivalent. However, if budgets will run to the slight extra charge it is well worth trading up to oak for a more stylish finish. Softwood will also weather down
Recycled Plastic. Available in brown or black recycled plastic this material is becoming an increasingly popular choice for lectern signs. We are more limited in the amount of ‘joinery’ that can be performed and therefore the profiles are slightly heavier than standard timber
Single Leg Aluminium. Smaller signs at around A3 or A4 size are normally supplied complete with a single leg lectern frame. This example has a powder coated aluminium leg and clamp frame with a full colour GRP sign.
Single Leg Timber. Signs at about A3 or A4 size are supplied with a single leg lectern frame. A choice of either Oak or pressure treated softwood posts. The signs are normally supplied without frames on these timber posts.
Decorated Lecterns. Our range of sandblasted timber lectern frames provide a distinctive structure to mount interpretation panels. Text and images can be sandblasted into the Cedar support legs to provide either simple or highly detailed illustrations with a choice of either natural history or standard images.
Return Edge, Reinforced Back. This frameless structure is a popular fixing option and can be used with either timber or metal lectern frame structures.
